ABSTRACT: Many of the best ornamental aroids, including Philodendrons and Monsteras, are vines which in the wild c1im b up the trunks of trees by means of adhesive roots formed along the stems. These present difficulties in cultivation because of their sprawling growth habits, and often they will revert to producing small juvenile leaves if they lack a support to grow on. Ordinarily they are provided by the grower with a tall stake of wood to climb up. However, in order to make a plant that is stable and not too top heavy the vine is usually severely overpotted, often in a three-gallon container when a one-quart size would be sufficient.
